Tyckte inte om Unfriendly cleaner in showers, I asked if there was a plug, where I could plug in my straighteners .
The woman was very unfriendly and just replied “No” without smiling or any interest.
I’ve stayed on this site many times.. I was disappointed as every one else was wonderful

Tyckte om Hidden Gem Overlooking the Lake
Hillcroft Holiday Park is an absolute delight, nestled in a beautiful setting with stunning views overlooking the lake. From the moment you arrive at the welcoming entrance, complete with a well-stocked shop and helpful reception, you get a real sense of care and quality.

The park is thoughtfully designed with families in mind—there’s a well-equipped children’s playground, a top-notch arcade and games room, and a breakfast cabin that’s conveniently serviced throughout the week.

Accommodation options range from luxurious holiday homes to stylish glamping pods, offering something for everyone. The washroom and toilet facilities are truly exceptional—easily on par with those in a 5-star hotel anywhere in the world.

Every member of staff we encountered was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. We’ll definitely be returning—highly recommended!

Tyckte om This is by far the best camping experience we have ever had. The site is well maintained, has impressive bathroom facilities, and a games room which is great for teenagers. We booked a camping pod which was clean and spacious enough for a family of 5 to fit sleeping bags and luggage. The heaters were great for colder mornings. We also enjoyed our breakfast from the camp kitchen on the morning of our departure. Good value for money. Beautiful views of the lake from our pod as well. Wished we could stay longer. We will be back again! Thank you for a great stay!

Tyckte inte om Nothing! It was perfect! The only qualm was the wifi access which is pay as you go. £5 for 10 megabytes.

Tyckte om Location, general ambiance, facilities, access, parking and accommodation (camping pod).

Tyckte inte om Nothing.
Note that Pitchup's site description does not make it clear that the site's wifi is Pay-as-you-go. Hillcroft's own site description does make this clear. Used mobile monthly allowance as 4G reception was fine.

Tyckte inte om Title: Disappointing Experience and Poor Customer Service

I recently stayed at Hillcroft Camping Park, and unfortunately, it was a deeply disappointing experience. After a long 500km journey, I arrived at the site to find my assigned camping pod (#13) uninhabitable due to an overwhelming paint smell. Upon reporting the issue, I was offered several alternative pods, but all had the same strong odor.

While discussing this with a painter on-site, I was informed that all the pods had either been recently painted or touched up, which explained the pervasive smell. Despite my clear discomfort and explaining that I was recovering from a chest infection, I was told to contact the booking platform (Pitchup.com) for relocation—a completely impractical solution after such a long journey. Left with no other viable option, I had to pay an additional £120 to upgrade to a glamping pod, which was the only habitable accommodation.

The response from Hillcroft Camping Park following my complaint has been dismissive and unhelpful. They insist their pods meet a "high standard," yet my experience and the painter's comments clearly suggest otherwise. Suggesting that the fault lies with me for declining accommodations that were unsuitable is unacceptable.

It’s not about "criticising maintenance"—it’s about accountability for providing a habitable environment for guests. The additional cost I was forced to pay was not a luxury upgrade; it was a necessity due to the unsatisfactory conditions of the camping pods.

I expected better customer service and a willingness to resolve the issue fairly. Unfortunately, Hillcroft Camping Park has shown no interest in taking responsibility or providing compensation for the inconvenience caused.

I cannot recommend this site and will be sharing my experience across review platforms to ensure others are aware of the potential risks involved in booking here.
